From the Old World Vines Collection, inspired by two diverse yet time-honored traditions, this neckpiece is a one of a kind treasure. It celebrates the best of grape vines in the winemaking industry and the opulent craft of gilding everything with 24K gold.
Hand forged from mild steel, given a black heat patina, and gilded with 23K gold leaf. 23K gold is applied to the steel to give it a historical feel, as though it has been around for centuries. It is then sprayed with Permalac, a microfine protectant which bonds to the metals protecting it from time and the elements.
Selected by Artistar Jewels for their art jewelry exhibition in Milan, 2014.
As with all my neckpieces, it is formed to rest comfortably flowing over the curves of a woman's neck and shoulders.
